Morris, Ed – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2005
We apply the object oriented software engineering (OOSE) design methodology for software objects (SOs) to learning objects (LOs). OOSE extends and refines design principles for authoring dynamic reusable LOs. Our learning object class (LOC) is a template from which individualised LOs can be dynamically created for, or by, students. The properties…

Salinger, Gerhard L. – Journal of Technology Studies, 2005
Engineering technology education (as distinguished from Engineering Technology education) is a design problem. In engineering, an important consideration is to determine the goal of the design. What is the desired result? For whom is it desirable? What are the unintended consequences? In this article, the author continues to raise the questions of…

Greitzer, Frank L.; Kuchar, Olga Anna; Huston, Kristy – Journal on Educational Resources in Computing, 2007
Serious games use entertainment principles, creativity, and technology to meet government or corporate training objectives, but these principles alone will not guarantee that the intended learning will occur. To be effective, serious games must incorporate sound cognitive, learning, and pedagogical principles into their design and structure. In…

Large, Andrew; Bowler, Leanne; Beheshti, Jamshid; Nesset, Valerie – McGill Journal of Education, 2007
The article presents a new technology design methodology that the authors have termed "Bonded Design" and that was applied by two intergenerational teams comprising adults and grade-three elementary school students in one case, and adults and grade-six students in a second case. The objective of each team was to design a low-tech web…

Collins, Randolph J. – American School & University, 2006
Although violent crime in schools has showed a steady decline in recent years, it remains a serious concern, and administrators are continually looking for more effective approaches to school safety. At the same time, the best school environments are not only safe and secure, but also attractive and comfortable. The right school setting can…

Augustin, Thomas – Psychometrika, 2006
Stevens postulated that we can use the responses of a participant in a ratio scaling experiment directly to construct a psychophysical function representing the participant's sensations. Although Stevens' methods of constructing measurement scales are widely used in the behavioral sciences, the problem of which scale type is appropriate to…

Boettcher, Steven; Schwartz, Randy – 1997
One of the most difficult problems facing department chairs is inspiring a shared vision of the department, especially among part-time faculty. A departmental forum, or central means of communication that is regularly updated and widely accessible, can be useful in fostering teamwork and this shared vision, while two popular formats for forums are…

Elkjaer, Bente – 1995
Increased attention in organizational theory on how to improve the design of a learning organization has indicated a need for the development of a theory on how employees learn in, and in relation to, organizations. This paper focuses on the part of the learning process that deals with how learners understand the object at hand, in this case,…

Wolf, Rudolf – 1992
Awareness in Europe of the possible health hazards of certain building materials has increased. Many new building products have had no long-term testing, and competition leads to constant product changes. For example, asbestos-laden materials were used widely in schools, and now they must be removed or treated at great cost. Scientists and…
